Underappreciated genres of old-school rock:

My friend with an unusual nickname sure is awesome, and I strongly encourage them to continue doing whatever it is that they do

Here, have an eleven-minute orchestral intro for a two-minute song

Really, this whole business is just a delivery mechanism for the stupid fucking pun in the chorus

You think this is deep, but it’s really about a horse

I discovered a particular configuration of amp settings that makes a really weird noise, and I must share it with the world

An incomplete list of things that give me a boner (part 3 of 5)

I tried to parody a genre of music I don’t care for and accidentally produced a perfect example of the thing I was trying to make fun of

Behold my vocal range, ye mighty, and despair

I love how it’s “The Strange Case of Doctor Jekyll and MISTER Hyde” as in, yeah, they are basically two sides of the same person but only ONE has a doctorate

[decepti-geek]

#unless your bitch ass second personality helped you write that thesis it is your fucking doctorate

my dad just exploded into laughter out of nowhere and told me ‘imagine the lion king but with sea lions’ he has been chuckling about it for 5 straight minutes now

[nadhie]

apparently it doesn’t matter that i’ve told him 10 times it’s the monkey who raises the newborn and not the lion himself, this is the scene he has been imagining

“he can’t raise his kid over his head”

every culture has their ethnic donut and every culture has their ethnic dumpling… humans be frying dough

[sindri42]

Every culture also makes a sword. If they got metal they make a sword, if they don’t have metal they take obsidian or shark teeth or whatever it is that they’ve got and they make that into a sword.

Coincidence? I think not.

There are A LOT of crabs on Christmas Island, man.

They used to cross the road, probably, no definitely, without looking left and right. And they got squished.

Environmentalists had a hell of a job, keeping them in their lane. Traffic would have to be blocked for the duration.

But now, they have a lovely bridge, and no one has to ask: Why did the Christmas Island Crab cross the road, if they’re just gonna get squished?

Answer: They want to hit the beach. Because that’s where they like to have sex. And because the mummy crabs like to throw their eggs into the ocean after they’ve spawned them in the burrows that the daddy crab so kindly digs on the beach.

Look at them scurrying over their bridge, the smell of the ocean in their noses, the thought of copulation driving them on…

Whew! Finally, made it to the beach…now The Sex can begin!

Mission accomplished… And a few weeks later after a float in the ocean…

Back come the ankle biters…to the rainforest where they live.

most stories about supernatural entities working with humans portray the supernatural entity as either a stuffy asshole with a superiority complex, or a clumsy idiot whose lack of familiarity with human culture and utilities is played for laughs, or a combination of the two, but what i really want to see for once is a simple buddy/family comedy dynamic. that’s all.

[valtsv]

angel: wait, so you only have TWO eyes? and you use just those two to see all eleven dimensions AND (list of colors that don’t exist in the human language)? that must be SO exhausting. i’m impressed.

human: uh, no. i can’t see any of those things. just objects within the visible light spectrum. and i’m short-sighted, so even that depends on how far they are away from me.

angel: *nodding sympathetically* my cousin raziel is colorblind too

human: everyone has tried to sing all the parts of bohemian rhapsody on their own at the same time at least once in their life

eldritch monster: what, like it’s hard? *unhinges all 7 of their jaws to perform a pitch-perfect rendition of queen’s bohemian rhapsody (including the instrumentals)*

human: *softly* holy shit

[valtsv]

*exasperated mom voice* how many times have i told you, zstylzhmgg’thr, if we want something, we come downstairs and ask for it. we don’t telepathically broadcast our desires so the whole neighborhood can hear us. it’s rude, and i’m sick of washing the bloodstains from the nosebleeds it causes out of the carpet!

[keena-kapu]

Do you ever hear someone say something about your field of interest that is wrong and you have to stop yourself from physically cringing but you gotta stay strong and cool cause you don’t wanna be ‘That NerdTM’?

[keena-kapu]

there is no deep meaning to this, this is when I see people refering to Excalibur as “The Sword in The Stone”

[whitestarrussian]

Wait I though the sword in the stone is Excalibur. What is it then?

[keena-kapu]

The Sword in the Stone is Caliburn, and was the way be became king. Excalibur was the sword given to him by the Lady of the Lake after he broke Caliburn fighting King Pellinore.

[tragicwolves17]

I have been educated today and I appreciate it

[sapphireswimming]

someone: and then he pulled Excalibur out of The Stone -

“really?” I say to inanimate objects that are not working like they usually do

[gettingwitchywithit]

“Stay.” I glare at inanimate objects that continuously fall over

[unironicallyenthusiasticknitter]

“Thank you!” I say exhasperatedly to the inanimate objects when they do finally work right/stay put

[joestoyes]

“Sorry! I say to the table I bumped into

[q834tq3hgfq39fh9q348h-deactivat]

“SHHH” I say to the inanimate object that keeps making noise

[bittyblueeyes]

“Yeah, yeah, I’m coming,” I huff at the persistent kitchen timer.

[alex-guerin]

“Don’t take that tone with me!” I exclaim at objects that make strange and sudden unknown noises.

[ralkana]

“Stop crying, you’re fine,” I snap as I’m looking for the charger cord for the electronic device beeping demandingly at me.

[lotus0kid]

“Don’t be a dick,” I warn an object that’s fallen just out of reach.

Today’s Ultra Trivia:

July 7 celebrates Eiji Tsuburaya’s birthday. 

A man whose dream of flight was shattered, he shined in the path of film-making and became known as the “Father of Tokusatsu”. After co-creating Godzilla, he moved on to create a film production studio that would captivate TV-viewing audiences with the techniques he used in film, thus Tsuburaya Productions was found. After achieving success with titles such as “Ultra Q”, “Ultraman” and “Ultra Seven”, Eiji continued onto creating more films until he fell ill and passed away in January 25, 1970 at age 68.

Eiji Tsuburaya loved tokusatsu even in his final days, and never stopped believing in it. His wish was to create works that were not only joyful, but could spark viewers’ imaginations, provide hope for the future, and cultivate kindness in young viewers’ hearts. A wish that the company continued to uphold in their productions many years after his death.

People are being flippant about the Ariel casting but I think they bring up good points. I know you’re a transformers fan. How would you feel if they cast like Idris Elba as Megatron even though he’s always been white? Or what about Channing Tatum as black panther? I think they just need to stay true to the source material.

??????? megatron is a robot who turns into a gun 

[meangirlnurse]

finally some caucasian representation

[meangirlnurse]

anyway i hope they cast idris elba as megatron

[thunderstryke]

Idris Elba would absolutely CRUSH IT as Megatron
